For Birth Control I got the Kyleena around 12/30/2017 and for the past year, I have completely forgot I had it in me. It was great because I didn’t have to worry about getting pregnant everytime I had sex. The first week of having it, I felt some discomfort (my pain tolerance is high). A week later, I was working out normally and everything seemed to be going fine. The only difference I noticed over the year was I got worse period cramps (which I used to never get). And then other things I started to notice was my sex drive was very low and I was very dry and itchy down there. My mood tends to be on the more anxious/depressed side (another thing that has never happens). I really think this birth control is starting to affect me in ways I never noticed & I am considered getting it removed.

For Birth Control I'm 26. Never had children. I've had Kyleena for 6 months now. The procedure to get Kyleena placed was easy and not painful. I took 800mg of ibuprofen before my appt and didn't feel anything except slight pressure. The day after insertion I tried to work but ended up in tears because I was having stabbing cramps. The first 3-4 months I pretty much bleed constantly, but it was light. My cramps increased and would be so painful I would be toppled over crying in pain. I have had depression and anxiety that I never had before this. My sex drive has decreased, and my orgasms have become almost non existent.

For Birth Control I started this pill to alleviate migraines and prevent pregnancy. Overall, my experience with this pill has been wonderful from day one. I don't have any breakouts, no migraines, no weight gain, and I haven't gotten my period once in the seven months I've been on it. The downside: I'm overly emotional. I will cry over a commercial, now. And I'm paranoid all the time of being pregnant.

For Birth Control I have only been on for a month and I have mood swings, breast tenderness, horrible cramps, food cravings, no period, and I'm always tired like winded tired

For Birth Control I’ve been taking this medication for 3 weeks and I’m not totally sold on it.
Early pros: I don’t feel as anxious
Early cons: severe nausea, headaches, diarrhea, increased acne, tender breasts.
I’ve tried almost every birth control on the market.. this certainly isn’t the worst but it’s still not a winner.
I can’t wait till they come out with a birth control for men ;)

For Birth Control Pros: get rid of heavy cramps , lightens your flow , and make your breast a little bigger
Cons: Every months it seems like I have new symptoms the first month nausea and a loss of appetite , the second I had really bad acne and a huge black spot on my face ( I’m assuming this is from the pill I always had great skin ) , and this month I’m extremely sensitive I cried for awhile this month without any real reason for me being sad.
